The Queens borrowed Idea.


The Queen, in addition to holding two draw
ing-rooms in May, will supplement them with
two three in June of different description
than anything previously given by her. They
will be called invitation drawing rooms. People
win not be formally presented. but will be per-
snitted to pay her Majesty an afternoon call.
Morning dress, instead of court dress, will be
he proper thing. The receptions are for the
n;ddle-class people of London. and one of the
inost reputable of society papers here says that
khe Queen has borrowed her idea of these recep-
lions from the White House. Invitations will

The Children's Easter-Ege Rolling in the
White House Grounds.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The grounds imme-
diately south of the Presidents house presented
a very pretty picture, to-day. Thousands of
children were gathered there engaged in the
pleasure of Easter-egg rolling, custom which
has prevailed in this city for ever SO many years
The participants were of all ages sizes and con-
ditions of life, from the pampered child of luxury.

ninny, with bare feet All had eggs boiled and
dyed, and made the air ring with their happy
shouts and merry laughter they rolled their
eggs and themselves down the grassy knobs and
chased each other across the lawns. The Presi-
dent enjoyed the spectacle very much. His
office window opened directly over the scene,
and he frequently paused in his work to gaze
upon it. Mrs. Cleveland spent the morning at
her country home and failed to the chill
dren play. While the Presidents public recep-
ton in progress in the East Room, in the
afternoon, the children heard of it, and fiocked
in great numbers to shake hands with the Presi-
dent.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Postmaster- general
Villas and General Superintendent Nash, of the
railway mail service, will leave Washington to-
morrow a tour of inspection of the fast mail
service between New York, Chicago and st.
Paul While absent they will consider the feast
bilty of establishing depots at Chicago, ST.
Louis and Atlanta for the distribution of postal
cards and stamped envelopes. Under the pres
ent system these supplies are sent out from the
mandatory at Castleton, N. Y, in registered
pouches to the individual Offices. both great and
small, making reouisltion therefor The rapid
increase in the number of postof6ces, and the
steady increase of business at nearly all of The
larger Offices, has rendered this system very
cumbersome; in fact, the business of the country
has outgrown the system. Hence necessity for
pply-dlstributing offices contemplated by
the Postmaster general The experiment will
probably first be tried at Chicago. Nineteen Of
the larger postofices. which. it is said. consume
about AZ per cent. of all the postal cards used in
the United States, will be supplied from the
mandatory as now, but by freight instead of
by registered mail, as is now the custom, thus
making large saving in the matter of trans
portation. These Offices are Baltimore, Boston,
Brooklyn, Buffalo. Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleve.
land. Detroit Kansas City, Loui sville. New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, St. Louis, San
Francisco and Washington. These arrange
ments will be perfected and put into operation
IS speedily as possible.
